She was a delightful genius. And she turned her suffering into poetry...The French have a talent for producing the most amazing and obscure documentaries. Respect.
What a joy to hear Eliane Radigue talking about her music. I can't tell how much I admire this great lady of contemporary music. Her sounds always give me a lot of happiness. Thank you so much, straypixel, for this upload!
That look of delight on her face at the end really makes you fall in love, doesn't it? A fascinating and illuminating documentary. I can't believe she still uses tape! Fantastic. I wish they'd do something like this about Ralf Wehowsky.
It's wonderfull to hear fascinated people speaking about their poetic approach of an high-technical and scientific-based artistic profession. Electronic music becomes in that way something different than what people generaly think about this kind of music.
Half legendary and half weird, she draws partitions and works months or years for something that does not sound much different than anybody take a 500 (or 200) $ synth and lets two oscillators drone along. Artists. Though absolutely love what she says about 11:14 about listening. Of course i love a person that age spend their time with stuff like that. Hope i will be the same.
i didn't ever hear about this lady. But I know all the men though, from hedley jones to robert moog via mike biegel or craig anderton. happy to learn there are great women in audio electronics!
Anyone knows where does she lives or where to contact her? Please DM me if any clue thanks a lot . My ultimate goal would be do do something with her and ken nordine. C
Turning knobs for five minutes with no sound, keeps turning up volume, till its Full Tilt, wondering whats gone wrong,then realizes that speaker switch has been off. flips it on . emitting a deafening squeech! cat fly's straight up from counter and is hanging there with all 20 claws dug into ceiling. LOL seriously though, I watched another video where she did one of her pieces, it really reminded me of Binaurel Beats. it was beautiful!
That Arp is so cool. Not practical at all, but cool. And never having owned one, I wonder, what a basic path with oscillator running through a filter sounded like. Maybe it's wonderful and distinct
Peu de Femme compose dans ce genre de Musique ... Dans notre école du conservatoire Electro acoustique 1 seul femme travaillait avec nous ( 5 hommes + 1 prof )...
I only recently have been turned on to her. I think she's wonderful. It's such a thing of cognitive dissonance for me-she looks like a working class grandmother, yet is able to talk about modulators and filters in an intelligent way that doesn't sound pretentious or over-analytical of droning analogue sounds.
With all the shallow bullshit about mindfullness and concentration (provided by high salery coaches) this is the reeeeall challening introspective experience.
This is more about the manipulation of sound than composing. By manipulating the wave forms, frequencies are produced, which result in an overall sound texture. To say this is composing is incorrect as it is the machine or technology that actually produces the final embodiment. The human, Eliane Radigue, is allowing for chance to perform its magic while she experiments with making sounds via the different means she uses to generate them.
Why is "composing" incorrect? Does a "classical" composer produce any sounds? No, it's produced by the instrumentist (the media). The only difference is a different type of media.
A classical composer most often writes a score that the musicians perform! Otherwise you could say that the sound of wind rustling the leaves of trees in a forest, is a composition!
Radigue is controlling the parameters of sound produced by the synthesizer, no less than a pianist controls the parameters of the sound that the hammers and strings ultimately produce. If the sound must be produced by a human directly, then voice is the only instrument capable of being composed for... unless by "final embodiment" you mean the written score. That is incorrect, though, as the written score is only a set of instructions for a performer. Ink on paper is not music.
so, uh, Eliane Radigue, one of THE MOST celebrated electronic music composers, is not a composer. Interesting. And "Ay Bee" is possibly on Donald Trump's cultural team? WTF?
Sure but until you actually strike the piano's keys, there is no sound at all! This is more the manipulation of sounds and not the 'composing' of music. Am sure it wouldn't be too difficult to fill a room with various mechanical machines and devices (washing machine, electric food processor, egg beater etc etc etc) and have them play at different intervals and at the same time. Would you call that 'music' or 'composing' too?
She was a delightful genius. And she turned her suffering into poetry...The French have a talent for producing the most amazing and obscure documentaries. Respect.
bro she's still alive
A pioneer of electronic music, I love her work, great documentary.

I am really glad to have discovered this.
So am I.
me too
Me too, what a wonderful person
Thank you very much for sharing this
An amazing grandmother.
3:08 "C'est mon nou-nourse.." ("It's my teddybear"... How endearing given her technical expertise and eloquence. Wonderful!
Un grand plaisir de pouvoir découvrir une telle passion du son au service de la création d'une oeuvre lumineuse.
Thanks for share this wonderful documentary!
thanks for posting....love her vision.
Half legendary and half weird, she draws partitions and works months or years for something that does not sound much different than anybody take a 500 (or 200) $ synth and lets two oscillators drone along. Artists. Though absolutely love what she says about 11:14 about listening.

Je peux regarder ce documentaire inlassablement.
Pour moi c'est la même chose, j'aimerai tant voir les rush de cet interview
Fantastic. This is a splendid piece on a most dedicated person. Thanks.
“So we are discovering this, like children”
Thank you for sharing this... She's an amazing pioneer of sound.
Praise Eliane Radigue
I've seen this many times but just wish it was twice or three times as long. So much more I want to hear from Eliane Radigue.
incredible thanks so much for upping
abstract sound art for radio engineers..
Merci beaucoup !
Eliane Radigue, drone Musique 👌
Thank you for document and sharing this.
Fantastic !
still love it!!
thanks for the upload.
Merci bcp, j'aime son travail dans la musique electronique, donc cette dicumentaire clarifique mieux son process du travail.
Fascinating.
Ah! The ARP 2500. It was the first synthesizer I ever played at James Cunningham's studio. A beautiful instrument!
Oh genius lady!
This is the coolest thing ever.
Elle sont toujours orientée vers le chant ou l'instrument classique, Violon, Piano... Très Machiste le monde des musicos ...
Eliane is amazing
Passionnant !
Lovely
yayyyyyy
Beautiful video. Do you own the copyright to it?
i didn't ever hear about this lady. But I know all the men though, from hedley jones to robert moog via mike biegel or craig anderton. happy to learn there are great women in audio electronics!
très bien
smh amazing, amazing
There are much better filters than the arp2500 these days. Amazing video.
#legend
ARP 2500. Made in U.S.A.
was the piece she was working on in this vid ever completed/released?
Me gustó.
un gros câlin !
RIP Alan R. Pearlman
Anyone knows where does she lives or where to contact her? Please DM me if any clue thanks a lot . My ultimate goal would be do do something with her and ken nordine. C
The real Hell Granny...said in a positive way.
Turning knobs for five minutes with no sound, keeps turning up volume, till its Full Tilt, wondering whats gone wrong,then realizes that speaker switch has been off.

So everything is on 13th minute of it... just an observation.
ამას ქვია მუსიკა და მუსიკოსი?!! ამ შიგნაკრაობას!!! ვაი ...
Iovea's grand mother.
I feel sorry for those who don't understand...
Someone add the translation :D
huh. There are sub titles.
J aime cette femme a priori mais le son qu elle fait, j ai un peu de mal...
what is the reference standard for insanity
5:oo / how lucky (and insane) is that cat?
3:53 she is locked on, like a submariner who suddenly picks up Russian
Le musique concrete

is it me or only a fan sound is coming out of that synth_???
it's the sound of the void
QUERO VER DJ SABER TUDO ISSO...
sounds like my refrigerator
hmm i dont know....
Rip
Elle est chouquette cette mamie.
Makes Aphex Twin look like Tiësto.
Eh hardly. Different worlds. You can give the same respect that Radigue's work demands to the likes of Aphex and find something equally incredible.
Accessibility doesn't always equal inferiority.
With all the shallow bullshit about mindfullness and concentration (provided by high salery coaches) this is the reeeeall challening introspective experience.
